Chapter 127: Simple Training (1/2)
The next day, Theo and the groups returned to the training room, occupying three rooms. Since they were planning to train together, they split into three groups and the pairs were random.
Theo got together with Ellen, Sihan was with Alea while Laust practiced with Phyrill. Yes, Laust decided to practice because of yesterday's matter, obvious to his father's plan.
When they entered the virtual world, Theo asked Ellen. ”Can you give me any information about the other groups? I mean, some should have fulfilled the conditions as well, right?”
Ellen tilted her head in confusion but still nodded. ”Yes. I'm not sure about the information since my family is not good at it, let alone myself. If you want to ask this kind of thing, it's better to go to Phyrill and Alea.”
”As expected, I need to go to them, huh.” Theo let out a long sigh.
”Haha.” Ellen chuckled and said, ”They are a troublesome duo, aren't they?”
”Yes.” Theo nodded.
”For what reason do you want the information?”
”It's nothing… I feel like the third stage is more troublesome than I expected…”
”More troublesome? How?”
”There is a possibility that the mission will be the same as anybody else, making it harder for us.” Theo scratched the back of his head. ”It's kind of a race, you see.”
”Hmm… I don't know the logic, but I will try asking Alea and Phyrill about this information. Since you are thinking about our next move, this is the only way I can help you.” Ellen gently bumped her fist on Theo's chest while smiling. ”You are not alone, Theo. If you need something, you should ask.”
Theo smiled and nodded. ”Thank you.”
”No problem.” Ellen then remembered the skill she got yesterday. ”By the way, I got this skill yesterday and I feel it will be a good one for us. Let me show it to you first.”
The two then began their training. Ellen showed her mist skill that was capable of creating a smokescreen. And when Theo entered the mist, he felt the cold was trying to numb his senses and lower his ability.
Theo was slightly surprised, but he didn't know what to do yet with this kind of skill. After discussing it a few times, Theo practiced his Soft Control and Force Control as the Illusion Multiplier relied on Soft Control more than Force Control.
Meanwhile, Sihan planned to get stronger by taking Alea's blows continuously like a sandbag to understand how this girl attacked him. This should improve his perception.
Alea didn't mind and tried to reinforce his shield and her sword with the new skill while continuing her attacks.
Phyrill and Laust were the same. They tried to do everything possible to get stronger since they felt the others would be leaving them behind if they didn't improve.
After all, Alea herself already moved at her own pace, outshining them. Theo was trying to pursue her in his unique way and had been improving greatly. On the other hand, Ellen hadn't used her all since they hadn't seen her tired this whole time. Meanwhile, Sihan's role was the simplest but the hardest at the same time, making him irreplaceable in this team.
Phyrill had realized it and told Laust that they could be replaced easily. Instead of an Assassin, the group would be better with a Ranger. The same applied to Laust, a Fighter. Not only could Theo replace his position easily, but Laust himself hadn't shown anything good other than the sudden change of movement in the last match.
